Racing Auto Trans Torque Converter?

I'll say this: It's not necessarily easy. It's not a snap of the fingers, and it's not always cheap. I don't say this to insult you; rather, I'm just saying it'd be a very good idea to read and get familiar with the platform. Drive it (lots) and see what you feel it needs. Get used to how it handles in different scenarios (wet, dry, etc) so you know you'll be okay handling power. DO NOT rush into a build, and DO NOT take any short cuts. If I tell you, for instance, that you should get a standalone and that it costs $1200, to which you reply "Well, I can't/don't want to spend that kind of money" that's waving a red flag. Taking short cuts on your build will only cost you more in the long run. If you take nothing else from these forums, remember not to take short cuts lol.

Thank you man no cheap stuff going all in even if takes years

I'd be ashamed if I put a cold air intake on my car and it ran 15s. :lol:

Wanna go fast oscar? look into a driver mod.

where do you plan to buy your parts from?

Also, if you take years to do this build, then you will have time to research online for what works or doesnt work. You are not going to find years of research and development in one post. Not in reality that is.
Start a build thread and show us progress of what your plans are. If you were me, thats where i would start

That's really sad...

A 15 second car is slow as shit, hell a 14 second car is slow.

It's better then 20 or more .plus I ain't no street racer I bet will be a fast take off

I still think a manual swap would be your best bet for picking up power.

After all, gearing is more important than how much horsepower your engine makes at the crank, if you have tall gearing it's just going to eat what torque you have, and automatics eat power. Get something short geared like the 3rd gen GS-R/ITR transmissions, you'll pick up a shocking amount of acceleration just from that.

It won't... You're still not realizing that you have an old, automatic Honda. They weren't made to be fast, they were made as fuel efficient commuters.
